Day 4 @ The Living Room - 12/16/08

Tuesday -

We are back at the Living Room - and today started well. I made a trip to Casey Jones' supermarket on the West Bank and saw the owners stuffed animal heads..right over the Meat, Poultry...etc. After two bottles of Loon, Bombay Saphire, and beer...we began our 4th session...

Anthony Cuccia (The Other Planets) laid down some truly impressive percussion parts on the new track "Montrez-Vous" - and the crowd rejoiced...the guy is amazing - and truly gives precedence to his own words of ... "i bought myself a mother fucking Hector Detector" (if ya dont know..ya dont know).

Here are some new pics from the session....

We are excited. Stay in touch to hear/see how things are going..in the meantime, check our website and myspace for any upcoming shows....
